Transformers entered into CAP Leauge as CITA -2010 champions and with a whole bunch of confidence behind them. There are a few changes to the team. Sastry , The opening bowler and the guy who hit an amazing SIX off the last over(along with Ramesh, Man of the Match in the CITA Semifinals, who played innings of his life time and turned the odds) in a nail biting finish and a win over Bradley Victors in the CITA league semi-finals was traded and joined JAI HO along with Suneel Rajulapati.
Transformers batted first and scored 88 in 16 overs, Praveen Papireddy came into the crease when the transformers were struggling and scored a quick fire 34 to take the Transformers to a defendable score of 88. Peoria started off brilliantly and the runs kept flowing as Parag was demolishing the bowling attack as Saad played the supporter role and Peoria XI quickly crossed 50 by the end of 8 overs.
Transformers came back pretty good when Praveen and Sandeep were bowling exceptionally well and allowed only 20 off the next 5 overs. Match became exciting as they need just 4 of the last over. When the side needed just 1 run of 2 balls, Peoria XI captain kept his cool and steered his side to victory by stealing a single.
BOTTOM LINE: On the whole, Peoria XI played well and are well deserved for this victory. Not scoring enough runs of the first 10 overs and not posting a decent score on a RUN MACHINE pitch and the opposition quickly firing the barrel in the first 10 overs are the reasons for the FIRST loss to Transformers this season.
